SPOILERS Unknown Number: What mental illness does Catfish Mom, Kendra Licari have? I have questions.. Spoiler

SPOILER ALERT: first, I’m really curious as to what mental illness Kendra Licari has. I have several family members with severe mental illness but I can’t figure this out…

It was so disturbing to learn what she did to her innocent daughter and her friends. But she was also obsessed with the boyfriend! And then we learn that she lied about having a job! And then we hear her skirt accountability blaming it on her trauma, and then we see how manipulative she is at every level. Like… I have questions. Weigh in on any:

  1. WTF did we just watch?
  2. What mentally illness do you think she has? And what makes you think that?
  3. Why was she fired?? We need a follow up on this. Sounds like Casey Anthony at Universal Studios..
  4. We’re all in agreement that she was obsessed with Owen right?
  5. HOW DID THIS PSYCHOPATH GET FREE IN 18 MONTHS?

What did I just watch?!?

How has the sexually explicit content just brushed over?? That’s the most disgusting of it all.

Poor Lauren and Shawn

Owen too.

And his cousin Adriana, and the other girl who was accused.

Felt so bad for Adrianna, she wasn’t in the mean girl crew and was someone easy to blame

Yes, exactly, the sexual abuse part of this was basically ignored by everyone involved, Including the doc makers. It's terrible!!!

Yes. And im flabbergasted at how, when they read the abusive sexually explicit messages, they could not have thought it was an order adult that sent them. They were foul and sounded like they were from someone way more experienced erc (!) and older and at one point a guy in his fifties said they made him blush. Actually it was around that point that I already started suspecting that it was a parent. I just did not think it was the victim’s own mom!

I assumed it was an adult as well. I thought it would end up being a coach or someone like that but did not see it coming it was going to be her own mom.

Also, the text messages that threatened to kill her if she didn’t kill herself. How was THAT brushed over? Death threats?!
